Isle Of Hope
Your rating:
CHLOE: On the first day on January, 1892, They opened Ellis Island And they let the people through And the first to cross the threshold Of that isle of hope and tears, Was Annie Moore from Ireland Who was all of fifteen years CELTIC WOMAN: Isle of hope, isle of tears, Isle of freedom, isle of fears, But it's not the isle you left behind That isle of hunger, isle of pain, Isle you'll never see again But the isle of home is always on your mind LISA: In a little bag she carried All her past and history, And her dreams for the future In the land of liberty LYNN: And courage is the passport When your old world disappears But there's no future in the past When you're fifteen years FULL CHORUS: Isle of hope, isle of tears, Isle of freedom, isle of fears, CELTIC WOMAN: But it's not the isle you left behind FULL CHORUS: That isle of hunger, isle of pain, Isle you'll never see again CELTIC WOMAN: But the isle of home is always on your mind ALEX: When they closed down Ellis Island In nineteen forty-three, Seventeen million people Had come there for sanctuary ALEX, CHLOE AND LYNN: And in Springtime when I came here And I stepped onto it's piers, CHLOE: I thought of how it must have been When you're fifteen years (repeat full chorus 2x) LISA: The isle of home is always on your mind Thanks to Allison for correcting these lyrics
